Review from Demi W (Mother of Child) published on 28 April 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

When my son started in January he was so unsettled, I was so worried he wouldn't get used to going to nursery but the staff here at Callands reassured me he will eventually be fine and love going! They were so right!!! My son loves nursery now and I can't thank the girls in the baby room enough, especially his key worker. My son has come along so much since coming to Callands, everyday he's saying something new or doing something new his development is coming along so much. Thank you!! Can't wait for the next few years here.

Review from A R (Father of Child) published on 28 April 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We love Bright Horizons. Our daughter started going a month and a half ago and the experience has been fantastic. The staff all say hello, her room leaders seem to have memorised her likes and interests and we feel comfortable that she is being cared for in a space where the adults value her and have a genuine interest in her.
The team are doing additional work to build on our daughter's confidence and the amount that she has developed in such a short space of time is fantastic. She comes home from pre-school full of energy and with a smile on her face.
We have also experienced dealing with their billing team. They were fast to respond, helpful and friendly.

I cannot speak highly enough of all of the staff at Bright Horizons.

Overall Experience
It's an excellent nursery and my son loves coming, there doesn't seem to be enough staff some times on the mornings in pre school but I know my son will get looked after.
Always on the go doing different activities.

Not sure about the food menu though most the stuff I know my child probably won't like but never complains he's hungry

Overall Experience

Bright Horizons Callands is a lovely nursery with super kind, helpful and caring staff and management. The nursery is always clean and there is always a happy face welcoming you at pick up and drop off. The garden area is spacious and there's a great forest school at the nursery. My daughter always comes home telling us what they have learned that day and the activities they have been doing. There is a good variety of home-cooked food available. I recommend Bright Horizons to anyone.

We are extremely pleased with the nursery and the amazing people working there. Our children have a second family there and they are very well looked after, cared for, and supported in their development. I strongly recommend Bright Horizons Callands for their devotion, commitment, and passion for supporting families and being there for the children and anything they may need.

Overall Experience

Brilliant nursery. Staff are really good & very approachable. New manager is amazing & really turned the nursery around since she started! App is great to see what your child has eaten, washed hands, pictures of activities etc. Little boy always comes home telling us all about his day & how much fun he's had! Preschool is brilliant, love the children's new uniforms to get them ready for school. Couldn't recommend it enough!

Overall Experience

Would recommend this nursery to anyone and everyone. Our child clearly loves going and the staff really care about the children. The updates on the app are really handy and seeing pictures of what they’ve been up to is such a reassurance whilst in work. The transition from maternity leave to working full-time has been quite easy because of the nursery and the staff.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending nursery since she was 1.5 year old, she is turning 3 now and enjoys it so much, always very happy and welcoming every morning by lovely teachers. In the toddler room teachers help with toilet training, which helps us as parents a lot. She always talks at home about her friends and always happy to come. Definitely recommend this nursery. Thank you for being part of our life.

Review from Hannah K (Mother of Child) published on 15 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I moved my son to Bright Horizons Callands Day Nursery and Preschool from another nursery and I can honestly say it was the best decision I have ever made. The nursery is amazing! The staff are so caring and nurturing and they always go that extra mile to keep you informed and happy as parents. The rooms are spacious, clean and tidy whilst also having enough toys and activities out for children to play with. Activities are diverse and very well planned and parents are kept informed throughout the day of what the children are doing. The daily pictures and messages are invaluable. My son absolutely loves coming here and every time I pick my son up he has the biggest smile on his face! Thank you for making my baby boy's nursery experience so special.

Review from Jessica T (Mother of Child) published on 15 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I could not recommend Bright Horizons Callands Day Nursery and Preschool any more. My little boy has been at the nursery for just over four months and he has settled in outstandingly. After not the greatest start with our previous nursery, I was very nervous about my little one moving. They were very patient and supportive, they update their app very frequently which is perfect for us nervous mummies.
The nursery is always kept exceptionally clean and tidy, no matter the time of the day. All the staff are very friendly and could not fault any of them.

Would definitely recommend!

Review from Danielle T (Mother of Child) published on 15 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Bright Horizons Callands Day Nursery and Preschool is a safe, welcoming environment and my son thoroughly enjoys going every week. The staff work so hard to ensure the children get the very best out of their day with exciting activities and opportunities for each and every child to shine. My child has made so many new friends so early on in his life and it is thanks to the friendly nature of the staff that they are able to do this.
The nursery often welcomes family photos from parents and carers via the app which are then often a topic of discussion or activity that week.
The staff are all extremely friendly and helpful with any questions or advice. They go above and beyond, for example, when it snowed, the staff got stuck into sleigh rides and making snowmen with the children - something which the children will remember. They do this with a smile on their face and I can’t thank them enough.

I wouldn’t have my child go anywhere else.

Both us parents and our daughter love Bright Horizons. The staff are excellent, the facilities are purpose-built (our previous nursery was a converted school which wasn't always fit for purpose). Thank you.

Overall Experience
Our little boy has attended this nursery since he was in baby room and is now in growing learners and ready to start school in September.

The support of all the staff from the day he started up to now has been amazing! He absolutely loves coming to nursery and I know he feels safe there. Communication is fantastic and the staff have been brilliant with my little boy's speech and language referral and assessments for other things too. Highly recommend, and have done to a few friends who have also signed their children up.

Review from H M (Mother of Child) published on 25 January 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Bright Horizons, Callands has been amazing in settling in my daughter at her new nursery. After leaving her previous setting and starting in the toddler room, she has become more settled and comfortable in her new routine.
The ladies in the toddler room provide unique sensory and messy art activities that are a lot of fun and have experiences that my daughter can get involved in. They focus on all the children’s interests and more often than not, I get beautiful pictures to take home that my daughter has made.

The ladies in Toddlers are great at answering any questions I have and making me feel heard as a parent. I genuinely believe that they value their relationships not only with the children but also with the parents as well.
